Create a way to prevent accounts/cards from being charged #517

I'd love it if there was a way for me to flag a bank account/card so it couldn't be charged anymore.

We have a usecase where our users want to disable an bank account. I've been told that deleting things from Balanced is frowned upon, so I'd like a way to ensure that bank account never can be charged by us again.

We still want the account information for our internal accounting, we just don't want the ability to charge them anymore.

Deleting isn't frowned upon. If you want to invalidate a card or bank account so it can no longer be charged you can delete it.

Once a card or bank account is deleted however, it will no longer be returned via the API. You can still see the funding instrument when you GET any transactions associated with it.

Please reopen if this doesn't address the issue.

Hmm, this comes out of a misunderstanding by @remear and I, then.
